To begin with, self-realization of a person is very important. It is important to release your potential, which everyone has to one degree or another. It is important for the development of your talent and abilities. And finally, it is important for the feeling of happiness, harmony, joy of life.
Let's remember the words of the classics. Friedrich Nietzsche: "Become what you are." Jean-Paul Sartre: “My project defines me”. Hermann Hesse: "A person's life is a path to himself." Erich Fromm: "Joy is what we experience in the process of approaching the goal of becoming ourselves." Abraham Maslow: "If you are intentionally going to be less than you can be, I warn you that you will be miserable for the rest of your life."
And, in particular, today there is a lot of talk about female self-realization.
First of all, this is due to the restructuring of the traditional family structure in the patriarchal culture, the distribution of family roles and responsibilities. After all, it is known that the Slavic woman, first of all, was the keeper of the hearth, comfort and inner space of the family. But with the development of society, global technological changes, an emphasis on the urban way of life, many women have freed up a lot of time and energy that they can invest in their own development and improvement.
To be fair, it should be noted that even in the most unfavorable period for a woman to declare her needs and desires, such as getting an education, engaging in politics, etc. there were those who, despite significant resistance from society, achieved their goal and occupied a prominent place in history. But what are the rules without exceptions?
Today the situation with this is simpler.
First, there is free access to education for everyone, without exception, and a modern woman can choose any profession she wants. Secondly, the release from a significant part of household chores by simplifying the process of their implementation, which provides more time for doing your own thing. Thirdly, if we talk about emancipation, the transition to egalitarian (equal) relations took place, where, in fact, the border between the distribution of responsibilities is erased (therefore, the father on maternity leave is no longer such a wondrous and incomprehensible thing).
But there is also another side of the coin. Whatever one may say, but the world is still ruled by men, and if women, then only with a strong, as they say, "masculine character." Therefore, today it is very common to wish women "quiet female happiness", which implies the presence of a house, a husband, a child, and preferably two children, a boy and a girl.
And what then happens if a woman feels normal while making a career, then “quiet female happiness” is already unknown to her? Maybe for her this happiness lies in watching her favorite movie alone and calmly after her favorite work or going on a date with a handsome man from a dating site?..
Therefore, the first moment, which is especially important for successful female self-realization, is the ability to listen to yourself, to your needs and desires.
And if this desire and need are associated, for example, with preserving the home and providing comfort and coziness for the family, then this will be an option for self-realization for this particular woman.
If, on the contrary, a woman designates her creative projects, career and professional growth as an important task in her life, then this will be the direction of her female self-realization. After all, even a business, a project, a written book, a painted picture, etc. many often call "my own", "my offspring." Which is very symbolic and metaphorical.
For me, in particular, the ideal option is when I manage to harmoniously combine the roles of “housewife” and “professional in my field”. This is how I realize my needs for social activity and caring for relatives and people dear to me.
Well, if it comes to female self-realization, it is impossible to ignore the topic of “female energy”, which is strongly associated with the desire, form and power of a woman to realize herself. Therefore, it is important for a woman to properly distribute her energy, store it and renew it when needed.
But this will be discussed in more detail in the next article …
